Antenna Problem ?!

[Giraffe]

on my dc4 my antenna wont go down, when i turn of the engine i here this motorized sound in the back of the car. the antenna is like 1 metre high
how do i fix this problem, so the antenna will go down.

Have you tried helping it to go down while hearing the antenna motor sound? you see due to the age of the car its just usually stuffed by dirt or the metal is alil rough.

Try pulling your antenna out as much as possible manually then straightening the antenna as much as possible then use a tiny amount (drops) of lubricant (like those home oils for sewing machines) to the joints. Start radio, then help the antenna to go down all the way.

Then turn Off and On.

Thats what i did to mine and it worked. Hope it helps your one. Good Luck!

Cheers

Or that.... btw this guy doesn't reply to suggestions anyways. I guess he solved the problem and this thread should be closed.
